For me, it all started with a business meeting almost gone bad, that we both share different takes on: As I contemplated leaving in disgust, at the apparent disregard of my valuable time, Harold arrived fashionably late with seemingly not a care in the world.

When I first got divorced from my college sweetheart back in 2008 after 14 years of marriage and 19 years of friendship, I thought I’d never ever marry anyone BUT him again. I mean, I was believing God for restoration and knew He had definitely presented the opportunities, but for more reasons than one, that just [...]

I absolutely hate being a single parent. Sort of! I know that may be strong words for some, but for me, it’s a reality. Especially because it was something I never intended to be or expected to experience. I mean each of my daughters birth were “planned” as much as two parents can plan and [...]

One of my friends, who happens to be in nearly the [...]

Okay, so it’s been a LONG, LONG, LONG time since I’ve posted to this blog. Definitely due to more reasons than one.

As this day draws to a close and I ponder about the happenings of this day, I am so thankful, it didn’t end the way it started. Whew! I mean what in the world would make a 5 year old get so unruly over having me THE MOM, sign a “green sheet” of paper that [...]

When I read a story the Huffington Post published about Roger Ebert, debuting his ‘new digital” voice on Oprah and him overcoming throat cancer, by the end I was in tears.
